Mike, try it without the IPAS- in the shaper, draw the glass with all the cracks where you want them. Extrude the plane as individual pieces with adjacent borders on all the cracks. Select the surface faces and map them with the desired material. Could probably use automatic reflection mapping as planes are flat. The cracks should not show when the glass is rendered. Then break it up as desired. It's more work than the IPAS but should give you good control. Alternatively, try combining the above method with the IPAS, using explode on certain "cracked" pieces only. If your'e moving the pane before it breaks, just link all the pieces to a single dummy. Might be worth a try. Good luck. Good luck.
